GROUP 15 ELEMENT IMIDO AND PHOSPHIDO CAGES; COORDINATION
CHEMISTRY AND SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS
1 INTRODUCTION
This review details recent developments in the synthesis and coordination chemistry
primarily of Group 15 imido and phosphido cages containing a variety of anionic
arrangements. The review will concentrate on the applications of these Group 15 anionic
ligands in organometallic chemistry, and essentially follows the theme of the lecture given
at the XXth International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry (Corfu, 2002). Further
aspects of this work have been published in separate review articles."2
In contrast to the alkali metal organometallics (such as the ubiquitous "BuLi), the
organometallics of the later p block elements (E= Group 14, Sn, Pb; Group 15, As-Bi) are
significantly less polar. As a consequence previous synthetic strategies to imido (RN2-)
complexes of the later main group metals had been mainly limited to procedures involving
condensation with Group 15 halides (eqn. l), desilylation with SiR3 reagents (eqn. 2), or
(in rare cases) reactions of alkali metal RN2- reagents with p block element salts (eqn. 3).
In view of this background it is perhaps not surprising that until fairly recently very few
imido complexes of the later p-block metals had been structurally characterised.

2 Perspectives in Organometallic Chemistry
The aim at the beginning of our studies in this area was to develop a range of p- block
metal reagents which were strong enough bases to effect smooth deprotonation of primary
amines, allowing direct access to complexes containing the RN2- dianion. We showed in
preliminary studies that Sb(NMe2)3, which is readily prepared in high yield via the reaction
of LiNMe2 with SbC13 (eqn. 4); will doubly-deprotonate a broad range of primary amines
even at low temperature (eqn. 5): Similar dimers of the type [Me2NSb@-NR)]2 are
isolated from these high-yielding reactions.

-4Me2NH
2Sb(NMe2)3 + 2RNH2 A [MezNSb(p - NR)]2 (5)
The key point as regards further developments in this field to p-block metal anion
arrangements is that the extremely basic nature of reagents like Sb(NMe& contrasts with
the lower basicity generally observed for alkali metal organometallics (RM). In the
absence of conjugation within the organic group of the primary amine only single
deprotonation will follow (giving RNHM). Thus, there was the possibility that step-wise
deprotonation of the primary amine, first with R'M then with Sb(NMe2)3, would lead to
mixed alkali metal/p-block element imido complexes. This scenario is shown in Scheme 1.
Scheme 1
In practice the strategy of step-wise (or mixed-) metallation of primary amines (and,
indeed, of primary phosphines) employing Group 15 bases of the type E Me2 3 works
very well.' Alkali metal cage compounds containing the trianions [E(NR)3] - (typeP )3.'
the
dianions [E2(NR)4I2- (type ZI),6 and the monoanions [Me2NE(pu-NR))2E]-(type ZZI) can
be readily obtained (Figure 1). A significant point in regard to the selection of a particular
anion type is that the precise anion unit obtained by these reactions (the syntheses of which
are discussed in more detail later) depends on the synthetic route used. In this sense, the
reaction products are kinetically controlled and a particular desired ligand grouping can be
targeted by the choice of reaction conditions.

The synthesis of trianionic frameworks of type Z is the most obvious reaction sequence,
involving the 3:l reaction of a primary amido alkali metal precursor (RNHM) with
Sb(NMe2)3 (eqn. 6a).5"bIn the case of the As(II1) analogues, a modified reaction sequence
is required owing to the lower basicity of As(NMe2)3, involving reaction of the amine with
As(NMe2)3 followed by deprotonation with "BuLi (eqn. 6b)." Several structurally
characterised examples containing Li' have been ~ r e p a r e d .All
~ of these have similar
structures in which two [E(NR)3I3- anions are associated by six Li' cation^,^ e.g.,
[ { Sb(NCy)3}2Li6.2Me2NH] (1) (Figure In most cases the central N6Li6 'stack'
arrangement within these complexes is retained even in the presence of extensive Lewis
base solvation. The [E(NR)3I3-anions(E= Sb, As) are valence isoelectronic with the Group
16 dianions [E(NR)3]2-.7

Bearing out the view that the [Sb(NR)3I3- trianions are the robust chemical
constituents of alkali metal cages of this type, these anions are transferred intact in
reactions with a range of main group and transition metal precursors.' For example, the
reaction of [Cp2Pb.TMEDA] (2) with 1 gives the heterometallic cage [{ Sb(NCy)3}2Pb3]
(3) (eqn. 7) (Figure 3), in which the three Pb" centres replace the six Li' cations at the
centre of the cage structure.* The predominant bonding within the SbzNbPb3 core of 3 is
undoubtedly between the N and Sb and Pb centres. However, it is of value to note here, in
relation to the later discussion of the behaviour of phosphide analogues, that the Pb3Sbz
metal core of the complex would (if an isolated fragment) conform to Wade's rules (an
n+l ,closo polyhedron).

Dianions can be accessed via the 1:2 stoichiometric reactions of dimers of the type
[Me2NE@-NR)]2 (E= As, Sb, Bi) with RNHM (eqn. 8).6 The structures of
[{E2(NCy)4}2L&](E= Sb,6aAs6c) (4) (Figure 4) consist of two [E2(NCy)4I2- dianions that
are associated by four Li' cations (adopting a tetrahedral Li4 arrangement at the centre of
the cage). This arrangement can be described as arising from the association of two
E2N4Li2 cubane units, a view that is supported by the dissociation of the com lexes into
P
these units in arene solutions.6dUnlike the alkali metal complexes of [Sb(NR)3] trianions,
Lewis base solvation of the Li' cations results in dissociation of the cubane constituents.
This is seen in the formation of the discrete cubane [Bi2(NfBu)4Li2.2thfl(5) from the
reaction of Bi(NMe2)3 with 'BuNHLi in thf as the solvent.6d
Group 15 element imido and phosphido cages 5
The reactivity patterns of alkali metal cages containing [E2(NR)4I2- dianions mirror
that of the trianion counterparts, the dianions being transferred intact to other metal ions.
This is illustrated here by the organometallic example of the reactions of the complexes 4
with Cp2Mn leading to the cubanes [E2(NtBu)4(MnCp)2] (5) (Figure 5).' Investigation of
the magnetic behaviour of these complexes reveals that they are predominantly high-spin,
with the magnetic properties being subtly dependent on the Group 15 element (E). The
origin of this dependence stems from the geometric constraints within the [E2(NCy)4I2-
ligands which effect the Mn.. .Mn separation and therefore the communication between the
two Mn" centres.
Figure 5 Structure of 5
The ability for ligands of this type to influence the architecture of coordinated metal
cores is illustrated most dramatically by the comparison of the structures of the two Cu
complexes [{ Sb2(NtBu)4}2Cuq] and [{As2(NtBu)4}2C~](7)'Ob (Figure 6). The more
compact As2N2 ring of the [AS~(NCY)~]~- dianion leads to a different ligand coordination
mode than in the Sb analogue, in which unfavourably close Cu.. .Cu contacts are avoided.
Consequently, 7 has an unusual CQ butterfly arrangement at its centre whereas 6 has a
square-planar CQ core.
6 Perspectives in Organometallic Chemistry
Monoanions of type IZI can be repared by the reaction of the salt Sb(NHR)4Li with
Sb(NMe2)3 (1 :2 molar equivalents)! the result is a bicyclic, spiro arrangement in which
the central Sb(II1) atom has a 10e, pseudo-trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the two
terminal Sb(II1) centres being 8e, pyramidal (eqn. 9). The normal coordination mode
observed in these species is illustrated in the structure of [{Me2NSb(NCy)2}2Sb]Li (8)
(Figure 7), in which the alkali metal ion is coordinated by two bridging NCy groups and by
the terminal Me2N groups of the monoanion ligand.5a The reactivity of the parent
[{Me2NSb(NCy)2}2Sb]- anion is of some interest. Reaction with primary amines leads to
replacement of the Me2N groups by RNH groups, with retention of the spiro structure of
the original monoanion.* In the structure of [{CyNHSb(NCy)2)2Sb]K.toluene (9) (Figure
8) the low coordination number of the K' ion is made up for by agostic interactions with
the Me groups of two toluene ligands.*

4 PHOSPHIDE ANALOGUES
As can be concluded from the previous section, the chemically robust nature of Group 15
imido systems gives them some potentially broad applications in various aspects of
coordination chemistry. There is, however, a striking difference between these systems and
their phosphide analogues2 Such phosphide cages decompose into Zintl compounds
containing -E: anions at relatively low temperatures, via an apparent step-wise mechanism
involving heterocyclic intermediates of the type [(RP)nE]- (Scheme 2). The extent of this
decomposition process and whether or not it can be limited to the intermediate
heterocycles depends on a number of factors, which include,
Perspectives in Organometallic Chemistry
the organic group (R) present within the phosphide groups (d9; aromatic groups
accelerate the formation of Zintl compounds, whereas aliphatic groups result in the
stabilisation of the [(RPbE] - heterocycles.
the presence of Me2NH in the reaction, which encourages formation of the Zintl
compound.
the alkali metal present in the Group 15 cage; as Group 1 is descended the
decomposition of the cage is encouraged.
the Group 15 element present; as the group is descended (from As to Bi) formation of
the Zintl phase becomes more favourable.
Scheme 2
Underlying the thermolability of the phosphide cages is the strength of single P-P
bonds, which are the strongest homoatomic bond energies of all the Group 15 elements.
The latter provides the thermodynamic driving force for the conversion of the Group
1Yalkali metal cages to (effectively) an alloy phase (the Zintl phase). The ultimate
formation of cylophosphazanes, [RP],,, together with the Zintl compound suggests that the
[(RP) ,,El - intermediates play the role of metal atom deliverers.
Although the phosphide cage C ( S ~ ( P C Y ) ~ ) ~ L ~ ~ . ~(11)
M ~(Figure
~ N H ] 1Oa) can be
obtained from the reaction of Sb(NMez)3 with CyPHLi (eqn. 10),l2the complex is unstable
above ca. 0°C. At 30-40°C 11 undergoes thermal decomposition into the Zintl compound
[Sb7Li~.6Me2NH](12) (Figure 10b).13 Interestingly, if 11 is held under vacuum and the
-
Me2NH solvation removed then the decomposition process no longer takes place (if
MezNH is bubbled through a solution of the complex rapid decomposition to 12 ensues)?
